Dear You,

I've written you 567 letters etched on the inside of the prison walls of my head, all composed of unnecessary guilt and burden. I am working on letting you go. I am working on forgiving myself. 

Wow, I have not posted in a very long time. I hope you all are doing well. For the next few months I will be posting mostly to mackenziejeangoes.blogspot.com, telling of my summer mission project adventures and experiences in preparation for my summer in Charleston, SC. I am so excited about this experience and most of my time for the next few months will be spent praying and fundraising for it. If you would like to follow my journey, pray for me, or give financially, please head over to that URL and follow me there. :)

Love,
MacKenzie

Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animals

(and a Happy New Year).

I hope you all had happy holidays and a wonderful break and time with family and friends. Despite this frigid winter weather I am still going strong and can thankfully call myself changed. God has changed my heart towards a lot of things over the past several weeks, and I am certain this year and even semester are going to be absolutely amazing.

I am taking a Creative Writing class this semester, so I have a feeling you guys will (hopefully) get a lot of possible snippets of stories/poems/drama works out of me. I would feel so honored if people read my posts, even just in the bathroom haha.

… I think I might be going on a summer project this summer, working in Chicago or New Jersey or Charleston. I am not really sure, but it is something I really feel drawn toward doing this summer. There are a lot of hurdles, but from looking at my options things still look so bright.

Here's to a new semester and new year!
